"We want to win every match we play and we are determined to get something out of this game," said Dai Young.

"We also know we have a huge couple of weeks ahead of us in the home and away play-off for the European Rugby Champions Cup.

"We are not yet in a position where we can match the depth of squad of a club like Stade FranÃ§ais and so we have had to be sensible in our selection, resting some players who have niggles to make sure they are fully fit next week, while also giving some players needed game time to ensure we are selecting from a balanced squad."

Form: Realistically Northampton Saints require just one league point from this fixture to ensure a home semifinal. The Saints have won only one of their last five Aviva Premriship Rugby matches: 36-21 at home to London Irish in round 20. London Wasps have won back to back Premriship encounters, against Gloucester and Newcastle, but have not won three in a row in the tournament since February 2013. Wasps only away victory in the Premiership since New Year came at Worcester in round 17. Northampton have won their last nine clashes with Wasps in all tournaments since the Londoners were victorious 20-15 in the Premiership at Adams Park in October 2009. Wasps have not won at Franklin's Gardens since a visit in November 2005.
